[ It's a relief when Jason finally goes to lay down. He can see the kid needs it. It'll be safer for both of them if he gets some sleep, even if it's just a cycle before the nightmares hit.
When it's been a few minutes, Bruce gets up and goes over to the cot, pulling a blanket over Jason.
He's doing better down here. He always does better down here. When he can focus on his work, on the task at hand, on his files and night job- the rest doesn't seem so overwhelmingly painful. Too bad he can't stay down here for always- but that wouldn't be healthy for Jason either.
And therein lies the problem.
He watches a moment longer, then heads back to his table, going through his files and recordings again while Jason sleeps.]
